It was 9 months ago that Prakash called us from jail. Now he's built a network that's putting real pressure on @QueensDAKatz to confront all the wrongful convictions in Queens @DesisRisingUp @VOCALNewYork indypendent.org/2021/05/quee…

The man- Teamsters Local 804 Vice President Chris Williamson- is not here for corporate America’s bullshit
Listen live right now on @WBAI to our May Day special episode on NYC restaurant delivery workers who have been horribly exploited during the pandemic.
Proud to stand in solidarity with the great Teamsters @804_local on May Day. They fight @UPS every damn day for workers' rights job security.
We are standing together demanding the 10 fired workers stay on the job until an arbitrator decides their case.
@ups is lying to the press- saying the workers can come back any time. They will only let them back if the Union agrees to forced overtime for 3k part time workers.
We've been taking a break after a long year, but we couldn't stay away for May Day so get ready for a great show tomorrow: "Deliveristas of the World Unite!"

Javier is home! But he never should have been locked up. Check out Episode 27 for our interview with Javier's sister Dariela when it looked like Javier would be deported in a few days. nytimes.com/2021/03/11/nyreg…
Prakash Churaman is fighting for his own freedom but also talking here to the NYTimes about the dire conditions inside Rikers Island. nytimes.com/2021/03/10/nyreg…
If this actually happens (big if) it's a real victory against state torture!
We owe thanks to survivors of solitary like Victor Pate from @NYCAIC who spoke to us last fall about the organizing that led to this decision. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-…
"In Pennsylvania, roughly $108 million of the $175 million meant for rent and mortgage relief never made it to the people pleading for it and was redistributed to the state’s Department of Corrections for coronavirus-related payroll expenses instead." theintercept.com/2021/03/05/…
